McCain’s Cancer and Survivability Rates

Doctors are rallying for the REAL release of John McCain’s medical records. The medical experts in the film discuss the candidate’s Stage 2 Melanoma. There is a 60% survivability after 10 years (or a 40% chance of a President Sarah Palin).

John McCain has not yet released his medical records to the public. McCain is 72 years old, and has been diagnosed with invasive melanoma. In May of this year, a small group of selected reporters were allowed to review 1,173 pages of McCain’s medical records that covered only the last eight years, and were allowed only three hours to do so. John McCain’s health is an issue of profound importance. We call on John McCain to issue a full, public disclosure of all of his medical records, available for the media and members of the general public to review.”

I was interning at a station in Arizona in 1998 and saw McCain soon after a skin cancer surgery. In the years that followed as I worked for the station, McCain’s staff was extremely diligent to insure the Senator was never exposed to sunlight for long. If he was going to appear on our broadcasts outdoors, we had to set up our live shots in the shade.
